TAC-GUCY2C

AUSTIN, Texas and HAMILTON, ON and SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Oct. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Triumvira Immunologics, a clinical-stage company developing novel, targeted autologous and allogeneic T cell therapeutics that co-opt the natural biology of T cells to treat patients with solid tumors, today announced that it will participate with one oral presentation and four posters at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer ( SITC) 2023 Annual Meeting in San Diego, California, from November 1-5. The company will showcase clinical and preclinical data across various programs, including its ongoing Phase I/II study investigating the safety and efficacy of autologous TAC-T cells targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in relapsed or refractory solid tumors (TACTIC-2 /NCT04727151) and its CLDN18.2, GUCY2C and allogeneic TAC T cell technologies. TAC01-HER2 is an innovative cell-based therapy that involves the utilization of genetically modified T cells derived from the patient themselves. These cells express a T-cell Antigen Coupler (TAC) which is designed to specifically recognize HER2 in tumors. In addition to the TAC01-HER2 candidate, the company is investigating TAC-GUCY2C for the treatment of colorectal cancer and TAC01-CLDN18.2 for the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and gastric cancer. "The new data we are presenting at SITC demonstrates the robustness of our TAC-T cells platform and its potential for precise targeting of malignant cells expressing tumor-associated antigens such as HER2, Claudin 18.2 and GUCY2C," stated Dr. Paul Lammers, CEO of Triumvira Immunologics. "Our commitment to developing innovative T cell therapeutics that harness the natural biology of T cells is supported by the promising preliminary results from our ongoing Phase I/II study targeting HER2 in solid tumors. In addition, we are advancing our pipeline by evaluating the clinical efficacy of TAC01-CLDN18.2, a novel autologous cell therapy that recognizes Claudin 18.2, a promising therapeutic target that is selectively over-expressed in gastric cancers and other solid tumors."
